Out of all the fighters Silva has lost to...

none of them would have done what Silva did to Forest. I find that kind of fascinating. I think Silva just really brought his A game that night and Forest was just really off. I also think Forest's I'll bang with anyone style played into Silva's counter punching prowess, where as guys like Weidman, Cormier and Adesanya were wise to be patient and not overcommit against Silva.

It's true but mentioning it makes absolutely no sense and I don't think it's particularly fascinating.
Anderson didn't really lose to strikers until Adesanya so saying that the people who beat him couldn't do what he did to Forest is pretty obvious.

The sub losses earlier in his career were just grappling inexperience like Conor's.

Silva defended the title for nearly seven years in the UFC. A league of his own.

Revisionist bullshit. He's always trained BJJ so where was this grappling inexperience?

His title run was pretty decent in terms of length but in terms of the fighters he beat it was distinctly average. That's not his fault as that's just how the UFC MW division was at the time but he barely beat anyone that was any good and ignoring Hendo the wrestler who refused to wrestle it was only Chael who was a wrestler and he threw the win away.

Anderson is one of the special fighters, but to be fair, Forrest Griffin was apparently KO'd a couple times in sparring leading up to that fight, could explain a lot. They were talking about it on JRE one time.

I was in the stands when Griffin lost his belt at Ultimate 2008 to Rashad. I watched Silva knee Sonnen for his last title defense the same card Griffin stole the win from Tito in his last UFC appearance wait... what...
Silva is goat, Griffin is old school great. Rampage, shogun, Franklin, and Mad magazine cover, nuff said
